Right of Way Utilisation Manual

A participatory approach for roadside protection of rural roads in Nepal

Abstract

For the purpose of roadside protection, and proper utilisation of the Right of Way, the Department of Local Infrastructure (DoLI) and ReCAP, with the technical support from HELVETAS Nepal launched a pilot project focusing on research into roadside protection and utilisation of the RoW land. Based on the research project’s findings, the Government of Nepal, through the Department of Local Infrastructure (DoLI), regarded it important to develop a manual focusing on roadside protection and utilisation of RoW and improving the livelihood of disadvantaged people who live close to the road. This procedural manual is therefore focused on the utilisation of the RoW and has three main sections - planning and preparation work, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The main intended audience of this manual is the staff at local government level because rural roads have become a major function of the Local Governments.

This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
